The Setia Laptop Backpack is an ultra-light commuter backpack. Setia means loyal, faithful, true & trusty in Bahasa Indonesia and makes up part of Ethnotek's head artisan in Solo Indonesia’s name ‘Setiawan’ or Iwan for short. A great travel companion, the Setia features a built in rain cover so you never have to worry about getting stuck in the elements. To complete the package, Ethnotek have built in handmade THREAD™ fabric from their partnering artisan villages.

To protect your gear from the fiercest of elements, the Setia Laptop Backpack is forged from an 840D weather-resistant Ballistic Nylon construction. Furthering the weather-resistance, the Setia features a flap-top buckle clip closure, doubly enforced by drawstring closure ensure nothing gets in the main compartment.

The Setia Laptop Backpack - like most Ethnotek bags, features a front panel called a THREAD™. Each THREAD™ is sourced directly from local artisans around the globe including India, Africa, Guatemala, Indonesia and Asia. These fabrics not only give life to the bag but also support communities and help keep traditional craft forms alive.

PLEASE NOTE: As each THREAD™ is handmade by local artisans, the pattern and colour may vary dramatically from piece to piece, but will be representative of the bag you have purchased.
